My wife is Korean. We have Korean food at home every now and then, and I like Korean food very much.

Kalbi/marinated, grilled short rib meat (beef)

As you can see, we use real charcoal (usually oak for this).

Hope you-all are hungry after these pics...

Anyone who has eaten at a Korean restaurant knows what this is, and how good it can be.

Baby radish kimchee, a.k.a. "altari" kimchee.

One of my favorite dishes in the winter time, such as we have here in CA: dolsot bibimbap.

Hope your mouths are watering after seeing these pics...

I really want to try the ribs. Having a hard time finding them cut in that fashion though.

We buy the boneless short rib meat (a.k.a. boneless beef ribs) in a cryopack at Costco and cut it with a sharp knife. If you use the "LA style" Kalbi it will be pretty much the same. You can buy that cut in a Korean market, or even in some western markets.

In a town of 11000 people in the middle of nowhere there is no chance of finding a Korean market

Then make a point of asking a butcher about this-- you might as well see if he can cut the meat into 1/4" to 3/8" thick strips for you, while you're at it-- or drive to a bigger urban area where such markets can be found.
